I always love this Sauternes, today after a great Opus One Vertical I brought two 375 of these to open with Ashley’s famous Bread Pudding. I specifically chose two different 375 with different colors, one that had the usual color and one that turned more of a golden brown and carmelized. What a difference two bottles can be, the bottle that had not turned golden brown was very good and a solid 92, however the bottle that turned and looked more carmelized was a 94/95. I will continue to age these bottles and wait for more of them to carmelized and open them later. Cheers

Enjoyed last night during our dessert course of our monthly “Magnum Moron” meeting. This is definitely not over the bill and is still going strong and has many years left. It is peaking now, but will not be on the decline anytime soon. This suduirat has notes of Honey, marmalade, Carmel and hints of baking spice.

In the refrigerator for two days, on ice for one and a half hours, then allowed to warm before opening. No tartrate crystals. Initially, notes of apricots and an annoying quartz smell. After 30 minutes that blew off and apricots and orange zest arose on the nose and palate. Okay balance, not cloying. With a long-lasting finish on the nose and palate.

Brown sugar, marmalade, orange rind, faint notes of ginger, toasted hazelnut, has a good acidity that cuts the sweetness nicely, on the leaner side, mature and showing well. 91-92
